Things to see and do Le Dimitile

To discover Reunion in a different way and especially if you have little time to stay, here are some 4x4 excursions for the day. On the program, several possible circuits: volcano/South, volcano, wild South, Entre-Deux/Cilaos, Salazie or Dimitile. At 7am, the 4 x 4 arrives at your hotel and it's off for a day of adventure, mixing nature and culture. In collaboration with Villages Créoles, a circuit "On the traces of the marronnage" has been designed, with meals at the inhabitant's house : to discover the first maroon settlements.

Le Dimitile offers splendid panoramic views of the cirque de Cilaos. It is also a place steeped in history, marked by the fate of the former slaves, the "marrons", forced to work on the plantations around Le Dimitile. Fleeing oppression, they found refuge on the steep slopes of this massif. In their memory, a brown camp was reconstituted on the summit in 1998. A series of sculptures depicting some of the legendary maroon slaves can be seen there, including Chief Dimitile, known as "the elusive one", who gave his name to the site.
